I have been planing on Making armor for Elric for some time. I have drawn several designs until I figured out how I'd like it.

Materials I'm using are:

~ WounderFlex ---- Which can be found here -> http://www.cosplaysupplies.com/store.php?s=M4UZ
~ Apoxy sculpt 
~ Super sculptly
~ Magnets and wire 
~ MR. Surfacer
~ Black Spray paint,
~ Silver paint 
~ Various sizes: Deep red acyclic jewels 
~ Gloss varnish (For protecting coating)
~ Black satin fabric (for lining of armor pieces)

Step 1, 2 and 3 :

1 ~ Cut out paper stencils 

2 ~ Trace and cut wounderflex parts

3 ~ Shape wounderflex parts. (This part was surprisingly easy.)


In the photo below: Here is the rough stretch of my armor design, along witha few of the pieces; Forearm part and the lower part of the breastplate.

Step 4: Attaching various pieces together, 

I shaped the wounderflex pieces with a clever bit of feather cutting and a hot hairdryer (with help of a metal spoon to get the curves.)
And I am currently putting the small parts together with Apoxy sculpt. 


In this photo: Left paldron, or shoulder part.

The following photos are the shoulder part at different angles showing the where I joined it useing Apoxy sculpt.

This is how the dragon will sit on top of Elric's head:  [показать] 
(It will be held on with magnets and wire under his wig)

Step 5: 

Coating the wounderflex with a few layers of MR. Surfacer to get a nice smooth finish. 

Step 6: 

Paint job: several long hours of painting, each part.....

Step 7: 

Coating parts of my finished paint job with a an acrylic sealer via spray paint can. 

Step 8: Glueing/apoxy small metal loops that would hold the parts together, (Mostly for the shoulders parts and breastplate. 

I am still in the process of putting the armor together, so what I have photos now are only the finished parts. (Breastplate/shoulders and part of the headdress.)

All the Gems are temporary stuck there with a bit of sticky-tack, I will be gluing them down later.
